Excerpt from Around the World on a BicycleI have only read specimen chapters of this book, but find in them the same simple and manly quality which attracted us all when Mr. Stevens told his story in person. It is pleasant to know that while peace reigns in America, a young man can always find an opportunity to take his life in his hand and orig inate some exploit as good as those of the much-wandering Ulysses. In the German story Titan, Jean Paul describes a manly youth who longed for an adventure for his idle brav ery, and it is pleasant to read the narrative of one who has quietly gone to work, in an honest way, to satisfy this longing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
